Soleczniki uprising

The Soleczniki uprising was an uprising by Soviet partisans in Lithuania that occurred from 17 to 23 February 1943. The uprising occurred just a few days after the Ostrow Mazowiecka uprising was crushed by the German Wehrmacht in Poland, and the Lithuanian Soviets attempted to assist the Red Army as it captured Daugavpils and began to inch towards the Baltics. However, the infamous German officer Walter Braemer crushed the uprising, and he proceeded to have most of the captured partisans massacred or sent to concentration/extermination camps.
